ive had lenco tabs for 18 mths now which worked well for most of the time . anyhow we tracked the fault down to the silastic letting go on the back of the switch holding the plug on the circuit board.

that being bad enough in design trying to get a replacement has been a disaster . guess what no spare switches in Australia seems a common fault.

next hurdle was the supplier in America has lost the contract to supply Australia and refuses to let be known who the new supplier is.

it has been 5 weeks wait while the boat dealership tries to locate a switch and they are pulling there head out. looks like i will have to purchase direct from America so all i can say is don't buy.

i just had a chat to one of the guys at Bills Marine, he has a BLA rep coming in this morning, and might be a chance they can get one, there is two types, which one?

mines the one with the lights up either side and automatic retraction . ithink the same switch covers a range of tabs.
